World Issues October - 1st Debate By Odessa

The first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump . Monday, September 26, 2016. The topics discussed were America’s direction, achieving prosperity and securing America. The moderator for the evening was Lester Holt. Lester Holt is an American journalist anchors the weekday edition of NBC Nightly News. He was actually born in Marin County California.
    There didn’t seem to be a clear winner of the debate, but as many people noted this debate was mainly about strengthening the connection between the candidate and the voter who was already going to vote for the candidate, because there are few undecided voters.
    The debate was beyond anything that you’d suspect, but this election has been anything, but generic. Between the sniffing, interrupting and boos from the audience it was a lively event that was definitely entertaining or worrying.
    There are two more presidential debates following this first debate: October 9th and October 19th. I highly recommend watching: one of these candidates will hold the future of the US in their hands.

The pig races have come and gone again, to be back next year. Thank you to every single person who traded in ten or more tickets. That’s $100 that goes to funding to all the cool stuff we have in MVMS, including the iPads and all of the electives. This is the biggest fundraiser of the year here at MVMS. Every single ticket you sold helped your school be what it is. Also, congratulations to every person who got into the Grand Pig Pre . Getting to that annual race is a big accomplishment. It's fun because you help your school while having fun!

A Quick History of Sweethearts® Candy Hearts By Elie

SweetHearts - Candy Hearts Most Americans have heard of NECCO Wafers, the first candy in America. In 1847, NECCO wafers were created by Oliver Chase, also known as the starter of the American Candy industry. Oliver Chase is pretty famous, but did you know that he had a brother?  Daniel Chase Created the first SweetHearts ® candy hearts in 1866. To make them he used a new machine of his that could press food dye letters onto heart shaped NECCO wafers.

Sunflower By Raphaela

Petals as bright as the sun and seeds as dark as night The wind blows and they are dancing Stems sticking out like giraffe necks reaching to the sky Green leaves like wings trying to fly
